About Wakatipu Grill
Our Signature lakeside restaurant, the Wakatipu Grill, at the Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa reflects the best of New Zealand's culinary heritage. The cuisine is inspiring with provocative takes on New Zealand flavors. Vast windows, an open kitchen and rotisserie, along with two circular slate fireplaces lend even more drama to this magnificent space. In the bar, be tempted by yet another captivating perspective of the lake, or an exceptional vintage - the 1000-strong wine cellar has a keen focus on Otago's best winemakers. Linger on the generous terrace where the elements combine to spectacular effect: the lake's indigo depths, the clear air and a decadent outdoor fire pit.
High Tea is served every Sunday 13.00 - 15.00

Our waiter Iran was amazing. He made the night for us...interactive and knowledgeable. Food and wine was awesime
Great service and food
Absolutely amazing service. The chefs are unreal as is the food and venue. But our night was made with the hospitality of you staff tonight. Our waiter, cocktail bartender and matridee were 10/10. We've been to many restaurants and bars during our Queenstown trip, very high end to pubs and the service here just Meyers from our hotel room has been a highlight.
Merci pour l'inoubliable dîner d'anniversaire. La cuisine est délicieuse et très bien présentée. Le personnel est très à l'écoute et professionnel. Merci à Monsieur Danneau pour l'accueil impeccable. Je recommande l'expérience sans hésiter. Encore merci à toute l'équipe du Wakatipu Grill.
Beautiful setting, great food, lovely ambiance and wonderful service. We can't wait to go back. Thank you for a lovely dinning experience. Our out of town friends were totally 'wowed'.....and that pinot pit is divine!!
Fantastic service, lovely food, nice atmosphere. We both really enjoyed our time in the restaurant; thanks.
Deliciously satisfying food served in a relaxed atmosphere. The desserts were a feast for the eyes.
Thanks for a lovely night great food and great service. My wife’s birthday and received a glass of champagne each. Thank you so much
The food was amazing, and whilst there was a bit of a delay, the complimentary drinks were very much appreciated and the staff were great in keeping us updated throughout the evening.
Beautiful meals and desserts! Complimentary entrees and dessert tasters from the chef were a nice touch. Beautiful experience! Couldn’t have been better. Will certainly be back!
Superb as usual
Great GF options, Great staff, beautiful setting. Even received complimentary bubbles for the birthday :-) We will be back
Promt, friendly service and amazing food. Chef gave us a free sample entree which was delicious and so were our mains.
Anushka provided great service. The lamb main in particular was spectacular. Desserts were also unique and yummy!
Hi, as a local I have eaten here several times and never been disappointed until yesterday. Booked the High tea as a treat for myself and my mother and discussed on the phone (in a very apologetic way) that I was gf and df. Believe me, I don't want to have to eat this way but I do and have had many wonderful high teas before at creative places. The guy on the phone said they would accommodate it however on arrival there was no record of my dietaries at all and nothing prepared. Ended up with a couple of nice gf finger sandwiches, a piece of dry cake and what seemed to be fruit from the morning's breakfast buffet. Mum's actual high tea was pretty good but she was upset mine was so poor so wasn't a great experience. Plus I was charged full price after that (very glad I had my locals card). Have always been an advocate for the Wakatipu Grill but this was very disappointing, though credit to the waitress who clearly did her best. I know gf df is difficult and am genuinely embarrassed to have to eat this way, but that was a really poor effort from the Hilton. Beautiful setting though, as always.
We had a wonderful meal and service was excellent. The view from the restaurant is great.
Our experience tonight was amazing! The team were very friendly and inviting, the host was awesome and Jennifer (who looked after our table) made us feel very comfortable. She is by far the best server we have had at any restuarant and really made the experience what it was. The food was fabulous, I loved the Chicken (main dish) and my wife loved her Eye Fillet. Our table was superb as we looked out onto the lake, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. 10/10 would come back every time we’re in Queesntown for sure. A big thank you to the team on that night, made our first visit a great experience.
Great food and service and stunning lake view.
We had lovely food and the service was great. We also enjoyed the view from our table. Great spot to dine.
Great meal in a great restaurant. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Divine Everything we ate was cooked to perfection, and we had a lovely waitress Paula
Another very enjoyable meal
Improvements for the Vintage High Tea - More savoury items on the High Tea menu, and a list of the teas to be included in the High Tea menu with coffee as an option. Perhaps being able to choose individual items from a menu so you can get what you like. More local produce used, if it was used there was no indication of this. The jam was over sweet and a bit sickly. An authentic High Tea would have had clotted cream.
It was amazing.
Superb food in a gorgeous setting with extremely friendly and attentive staff! 5 stars
